Formulation Deep Dive
The Olive and June Cuticle Serum is a high-performance O/W (oil-in-water) emulsion designed as a targeted hydrating treatment for the periungual skin. The carrier system utilizes a sophisticated aqueous base bolstered by Glycerin and Propanediol for immediate humectancy, paired with lightweight botanical lipids like Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil and Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil to ensure rapid absorption without residual greasiness. Active performance is driven by a synergistic lipid complex including Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil and Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil for barrier fortification, while Isosorbide Dicaprylate functions as a long-term hydration architect by upregulating skin moisture markers. The formulation is stabilized through a robust polymer network of Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer and Xanthan Gum, which provides structural integrity to the emulsion and a smooth tactile finish. Preservation is managed via a clean-label system featuring 1,2-Hexanediol and Caprylhydroxamic Acid, ensuring broad-spectrum microbial stability.
